    ... which in no way gives him the power to do what you suggest.
    The Federal government has no power, and has no ability to enforce, a national quarantine and business closure.

    You're complaining about him not doing something he can't do because you have no -viable- complaints.

    But if Trump had assumed the unconstitutional powers of a dictator, you would have been supportive?

    I'm genuinely confused by this.

    Trump will likely have the most amazing economic recovery that the world has ever seen. Most of the world will be standing by looking on in astonishment.

    With a Trump-Strong economy going into this Black Swan, plenty of liquidity and weeks of pent-up demand we will likely bounce back almost as quickly as it sank -- like a great big kid on a trampoline. We should see an amazingly strong recovery.

    What made the anemic Obama recovery from the Great Recession so difficult was the zombie like nature of it. Alive in a sense, but wholly unimpressive.

    Obama indulged in a flurry of lawmaking and micromanagement unseen since FDR. As a result, Obama's recovery was the slowest since FDR's. In some ways -- Washington's addictions to spending and debt are the worst examples -- we're still dealing with the hangover from Obama's reaction to the Great Recession.

    Trump/Congress did a great thing in passing the bill to keep everybody whole during the period when they're asking people to not go to their jobs and not go to the shops and - and basically not participate in the economy.

    Congress is following the Fifth Amendment that states that private property cannot "be taken for public use, without just compensation." If your labor isn't your property, then what is? If stopping a pandemic isn't public use, then what is? Relief checks aren't enough but they do represent at least some small amount of compensation for government orders to stay home and not work.

    The Democrat-controlled House is going to have a very strong itch to hobble the economy with a progressive wish-list of crap legislation, but the GOP-held Senate and White House ought to put the kibosh on any such nonsense.

    I’m confused by it too. I guess three years of hearing “he’s a dictator, he’s a threat to democracy” then hearing “why isn’t he acting like a dictator?” will do that.

    Does the OP realize the type mask worn by his avatar neither hides identity nor protects against the Covid19 virus?

    Democrats and liberals are blowing this way out of proportion. The models and the way they keep lowering death estimates is proof

    You mean like Trump ordering a travel ban on China at the end of January and stupid democrats calling it racists. The problem was the democrats were so busy with their fake impeachment they did not even know it was happening

    The impeachment really has nothing to do with this; it's just another attempt by the republicans to shift blame IMO.

    Problem is New York did it 2 days later. Explain the difference in the 2 states. It is a theory that herd immunity happened in California

    You mean they will remember the democrats stopping money because they cared more about special interest groups than they did about the people that were hurting because of COVID 19

    It has everything to do with it. Democrats had no idea it was even happening when Trump was already addressing it with a travel ban on China. It is democrats that keep trying to make this a political issue instead of working with Trump to fix the problem

    So why did Dr. Fauci of the CDC say on 1/26 the virus threat to the US was very minimal, nothing to worry about? On 1/14, the WHO assured us the same, their Chinese masters told them it wasn't contagious, a lie. Days after the Fauci statement, Trump enacted the China travel restriction, over the objections of Democrats.

    You mean sort of how the Leftist are trying to shift this world wide economic and health disaster on the President of the Inited States and exonerating the chiners?

    Hey, Trump dropped the ball on the pandemic whether or not you want to admit it. His wait and see strategy failed him miserably and now he's paying for it.

    You mean the democrats dropped the ball because they were busy with their fake impeachment. Trump was acting before the democrats even knew about it

    Every economic metric has been on the exact same unchanging trend line since 2010. Nothing changed under trump, other than the nose dive it is taking due to this pandemic. It will take years to recover from. And no, I’m not blaming trump for the recession.
